1970 33hp Evinrude - when I pull the rope there is no resistance and the flywheel is not engaged. After taking the starter assembly off and pulling on the rope, I can see that the three parts that engage the flywheel do not rotate out to engage it. In fact those three parts move pretty reluctantly like there is too much resistance where the ears fit under the nylon washer. Is the nut in the center on too tight? If so, how much should I back it off?
